IMPROVEMENT IN LANTERNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,616, dated October11, 1875; application filed August 28, 1875.

. To all whom it may concern:

! Be it known that we, PARTRIOK J. CLARK and JOSEPH KINTZ, of WestMeriden, in the .county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, haveinvented a new and Improved Lantern, of which the following is aspecification:

The invention willtirst be described in connection with drawing, andthen pointed out in claims.

Figure l is a sectional elevation of our improved lantern. Fig. 2 is aside elevation of the top, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a portionof the bottom.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

A is the metal cap, and B the yoke for holding it down on the globe O,for securing the latter on the lantern. This yoke we now propose to passthrough the sides of the cap, and attach to it a nut, D, and to the capattach a screw, E, for holding the cap down on and raise it from theglobe, making slots F in the sides of the cap to allow it to rise andfall on the yoke. G represents the stand for the support of the globe,which we propose to make of the wires H of the guard or branchesthereof, substantially as shown, whereby we simplit'y the cost, and atthe same time make a neat and light construction. On thisstand we attachthe metal base-plate I, for the globe, and also for the connection ofthe lamp and globe together, and we make a large center hole, J, in it,for readily introducing the burner K, and on the burner we fit theperforated disk L, so as to close said opening when the burner isinserted. This plate I also has openings outside of disk L, to admit airto the burner. M is a cap or ring, with a large hole in the centerfitted around the burner a little above the plate I, in such manner thatit concentrates the air under the flame,as will be clearly understood byinspection of Fig. 1.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. The yoke B, passing through the metal capA, in combination with the nut D and a screw, E, in the top of thecap,.substantially as specified.

2. The metal cap, having the yoke passing through slotted holes in itssides, in combination with the globe O, fastening-screw E, and

nut D, substantially as specified.

3. The combination, with burner K, cap M. and perforated disk L, of abaseplate, I, having a large central hole, J, and other holes on theoutside of disk, as and for the purpose specified.
